Abstract

Our proposal begins trying to circumscribe the definition of myth to Freud, showing their fruitful theorizing about the structure of the sagas for analytic praxis. The light, above all, Moses and Monotheism and Totem and Taboo followed our goal of showing that the myth occupies a prominent place in the psychoanalytic field, and the ways of Freud's work led us to the conclusion that the founder of psychoanalysis ends by recognizing the pattern of mythical stories - reworked by psychoanalysis - an intersection with its own conception of historical truth.
